It is our first trip to Phoenix. The weather is great and the racing is awesome, so we are here to see a great race today.”

“WESTMARC is the West Valley’s true champion,” said Sintra Hoffman, president and CEO of WESTMARC. “Our members and leaders have been highlighting great people and projects for the past 30 years. As this region and state continues to grow, it’s important to ensure we’re preparing the future leaders to take the helm and make even greater advancements. I’m excited that our newest program – West Valley Emerging Leader Impact — is doing just that.”

This year, WESTMARC presented a new award — the Emerging Leader Impact Award. The award recognizes individuals who are 40 years of age or younger, living and working in the West Valley, and making an impact in their community. There were five rounds of nominations, and the finalist of each round was considered for the award.

The winner of the inaugural award was Sebastian Porchini, who is a senior vice president at FirstBank.

“Young talent attraction and retention has been an ongoing dialogue, regionally for the past several years. As the West Valley continues to grow, we are keenly aware of the importance of illustrating the diverse, skilled and talented workforce that we have, for the purpose of business attraction and economic development,” said Kimberly Jordan, executive vice president of WESTMARC. “WESTMARC actively works to identify ways to engage young professionals in regional strategy, planning and problem solving, to provide a platform for engagement and strengthen community involvement. We received 22 outstanding nominations for the 2022 West Valley Emerging Leaders Impact Award.

“Sincere congratulations to Sebastian Porchini, for all of the ways he is working to make a positive impact in our communities and for our residents.”

There will also be a trivia question contest that will include prizes for the winners.

Along with the contests, Dog Days of Buckeye will have photo opportunities for dogs and their family members with Santa and other custom backdrops.

“If anybody’s wanting to get their Christmas cards ready and have a really cute picture of their dog with Santa, Santa will be at the event this year,” Anderson said. “We’re having a custom photo backdrop made that will be at the event this year as well.”

West-MEC Southwest Campus Veterinary services are partnering with Dog Days of Buckeye to bring another demonstration to the event: lick print art.

“They’re providing an activity at the event where your dog can create art. It’s similar to creating your dog’s paw print, but they’ve developed a way where their dog licks peanut butter off one side of the canvas, putting their lick mark onto the other side of the canvas.”

On top of that, there will be 19 vendors at the event along with the trainers selling assorted goods for puppies and humans, plus some food and drinks.

Those vendors include For the Love of Dogs, Ocean’s GlowSoap Co. and Purple Mouse.

“We have some food vendors coming out, including Vonets Bar Service serving mocktails, the Elk Brew is bringing coffee, and All-Star Hot Dogs LLC will serve snacks, hot dogs, nachos and things along those lines,” Anderson said.

The most significant part of this event is the Maricopa County Adoption Center, and other local rescue groups are invited to bring dogs in hopes of being adopted at the event.

“The focus is finding homes for pets that currently don’t have homes,” Anderson said. “So this year, we’re inviting Maricopa County, and they are bringing dogs that are available for adoption to the event.”

Nine individuals indicted on drug trafficking and money laundering

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

B

ack on Sept. 28, a grand jury in Phoenix returned a 34-count indictment against nine individuals for drug trafficking and money laundering.

The individuals are as follows: • Yvette Porras-Ochoa, 40, of Wittmann • Ricardo Ochoa, 41, of Mesa • Kourtney Moore, 40, of Akron, Ohio • George Martinez-Aviles, M.D., 55, of Peoria • Vanessa Quijada, 36, of Phoenix • Josefina Thomas, 57, of Glendale • Angel Borunda, 26, of Odessa, Texas • Ibis Efren Miranda Hernandez, 43, of Peoria • Kristel Pimentel, 37, of Buckeye A 2021 investigation revealed that Martinez-Aviles, M.D.; Porras-Ochoa; Ochoa; Moore; Quijada; Thomas and Pimentel each conspired to distribute oxycodone knowingly and intentional-

ly, and to distribute promethazine-codeine outside the scope of professional practice and not for a legitimate medical purpose.

In addition, Porras-Ochoa, Moore, Ochoa and Borunda each face additional charges for conspiring to distribute cocaine for profit. Lastly, Moore also faces additional charges for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.

Six of the defendants were also charged with related money laundering offenses.

Over the course of this investigation, law enforcement officers seized cocaine, marijuana, oxycodone, promethazine-codeine, and counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl.

An indictment is simply a method by which a person is charged with criminal activity and raises no inference of guilt. An individual is presumed innocent until evidence is presented to a jury that establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

NASCAR...continued from page 1

with this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Switching from Michigan to the West Valley, Anthem native Jacob Martin was just as excited to be able to see Championship Sunday. Martin would find his way into the event, not through purchasing a ticket but by working at a vendor stand on the track’s infield. But even from the sellers’ side of things, Martin is a racing fan at heart. He was still able to reap the same benefits as the normal fan.

“I had a great time,” Martin said. “I am always happy to come out, but not even that. I love the experience. It is a good time, and they have all of the events around. They open the garage; it is really an open field for the fans.”

Both Martin and the Rollins family would be treated to an electric atmosphere that included a gripping race and entertainment to make Championship Sunday a true bucket-list item.

The day’s first event for the fans started well before the race was underway, as the Phoenix Raceway would enlist the help of country music star Jon Pardi to help energize the crowd in an intimate, track-side concert that included many of his top songs, including “Night Shift,” “Dirt on My Boots,” and “Head Over Boots,” all of which revved up the crowd.

Shortly following the concert, the track was raided by smoke-bearing paragliders, as representatives from the Army Golden Knights’ parachute team trickled in from the sky and landed on the race surface, which fans met with roars of approval.

After a prayer and renditions of “God Bless America” and the national (Getty Images)

anthem, a two-jet military flyover concluded the preliminary events. From there, the race began with Cardinals legend Larry Fitzgerald Jr. driving the pace car as its honorary driver.

This edition of Championship Sunday included elite racing vehicles breezing at an average speed of 104 miles per hour, and a field of the top four drivers in the sport, as well as 32 other drivers that made up the field. The final four were Joey Logano, sporting the yellow No. 22 car; Ross Chastain in the black and blue No. 1 car; Christopher Bell in the black and gold No. 20 car; and Chase Elliott in the white and blue No. 9 car.

The race kicked off, and Logano assumed the early lead. He maintained it for the majority of the race, as he led for 187 of the 312 laps. Lap after lap it seemed like Logano was pulling further and further ahead.

After some time, however, Elliot found himself in a crash, resulting in time-consuming damage to his front right wheel, causing him to fall behind two crucial laps to the field with just over 100 laps remaining. From there, his championship aspirations were essentially squashed.

The race came down to the field chasing Logano, as the next closest contender was Chastain, who was the fastest driver through the last 20 laps, but his effort was in vein, as Logano would beat out Chastain and teammate Ryan Blaney for his second NASCAR Cup title, becoming the first driver all time to win two championships with Penske.

Overall, the event was a hit, featuring exciting racing and just as exciting entertainment, making Championship Sunday all that it was meant to be. As a whole, the West Valley is proud to hold such a prestigious event.

“It is just an honor, honestly,” Martin said, speaking for the West Valley. “There are a lot of big tracks. There is Daytona, Bristol and those are two great tracks, and just to have the championship come to a smaller stadium like Phoenix Raceway, it’s amazing.”

Nancy Pelosi attack used to distract from issues

BY J.D. HAYWORTH

West Valley View Columnist

W

ithout a doubt, the timing was purely coincidental.

In late 1964, Shirley Ellis recorded a memorable melody, with a nod toward novelty.

“The Name Game” zoomed up the charts and into childhood memories.

For kids then, as well as kids now, it has become a staple of youthful singalongs from day care to day camp.

Unintentionally, its title also captures the essence of an enduring campaign tactic brutally and effectively employed in that American election year.

Child’s play it ain’t… but name-calling it is.

For Lyndon Johnson, who had longed for the presidency from boyhood, only

to assume it in sudden and awful fashion, the goal was obvious.

LBJ had to find a way to move past the trauma of Jack Kennedy’s assassination to his own electoral confirmation.

That path went right through Arizona’s Barry Goldwater.

To detract from his own Texas-sized flaws, Lyndon sought to bury Barry by calling Goldwater an “extremist.”

Aided by a press corps eager to serve as an “echo chamber” (sound familiar?) and an infamously memorable TV ad that juxtaposed a little girl pulling petals off a daisy with the detonation of a nuclear bomb, it worked.

That’s why virtually every GOP nominee in almost every campaign since has been hit with the same sobriquet.

Conservatives may find this partic-

ular political “Name Game” lame, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t fashioned their own. In fact, Republicans simply tagged it with a more businesslike title. GOPers say they “define” their opponents, while Democrats decry such definition as defamation.

But it is difficult to dispute the devolution of the Democratic Party. What was once a collection of classic “New Deal” liberals has morphed into a sanctuary for socialists sympathetic to the so-called “Green New Deal.”

Of course, the “green” of that newest deal isn’t our environment; instead it is the green of money. The wealth transfer from taxpayers to “alternative energy entrepreneurs,” also known as top Dem donors, adds up to what should really be called a “Raw Deal.”

And speaking of raw deals, what about the “Bidenizing” the American people have endured over the past two

years? Record inflation has devalued paychecks and increased the cost of gas and groceries.

An open border has resulted in a record influx of illegals, jeopardizing both our economic and national security. And our military policy, enmeshed in adherence to “woke” doctrine, sleepwalks right past clear and present dangers.

And enabling Ol’ Joe at every turn have been Democrat majorities in the House and Senate. Look for that to change post-election.

While attaching a label to political opponents may help define them, documenting their performance in office — or lack thereof — is a crucial factor in defeating them.

But as this column is being written, another important tactic has unfolded

I’m writing a few days before we go to the polls, amid the usual onslaught of last-minute TV ads warning that the other candidate is Lucifer. I’ve already mailed in my ballot.

I’ll admit I copped out on a few races, writing in the late Grant Woods, our state’s former attorney general, in a couple of instances.

I did so for two reasons: One, Grant was the funniest guy I know and he would have appreciated the irony. And two, even dead for a year, Grant would do a better job as a leader than many of the purportedly alive candidates who made the ballot.

That’s because Grant, a Republican throughout his political career, was cut from the same cloth as John McCain, the last politician I truly admired. In 2008, during his second unsuccessful

run for president, Parade magazine asked McCain to define patriotism.

His answer is one I believe with all my heart.

“Patriotism,” McCain wrote, “is deeper than its symbolic expressions, than sentiments about place and kinship that move us to hold our hands over our hearts during the national anthem.

“It is putting the country first, before party or personal ambition, before anything. It is the willing acceptance of Americans, both those whose roots here extend back over generations and those who arrived only yesterday, to try to make a nation in which all people share in the promise and responsibilities of freedom.”

Country before party? It’s the sort of slogan you might see on a political button from the 1950s beside an “I Like Ike” pin.

This election — even before the inevitable weeks of warfare over the results — feels like two sides bombing each other with heavy artillery, destroying the village to save it.

Meanwhile, the rest of must live amid the ruins.

Many of you have written to me over the years to tell me off for being too rabid a conservative (when I write in favor of the death penalty) or a flaming liberal (when I dabble in social issues like gay marriage).

The truth is I am both of those things, not unlike about 1.4 million of our Arizona neighbors. I don’t swill the KoolAid on Fox News. Nor do I follow the party line as espoused by MSNBC and the grating likes of Rachel Maddow.

I don’t think you’re a badass because

Both parties in Arizona serve thin gruel on ballot

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ West Valley View Columnist

O

n Election Day 2022, our state had precisely 2,707,396 registered Republicans and Democrats.

This column isn’t for you.

This piece is for the rest of us, the dregs of Arizona politics, the 1,436,533 registered voters who belong to neither political party but still must pick from the measly buffet of candidates served by the Rs and the Ds. To quote a Democrat president who won this state in 1996, “I feel your pain.”

Deep in my guts. Because voting this year is the political equivalent of a starvation diet.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

BELL’S OPINION — King Features

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Oil reality Editor: President Biden went to Saudi Arabia to request increased oil production, and this past week he got his answer: a reduction of 2 million barrels a day.

Getting a slap in the face from an ally is not what the Biden administration expected. Now they must seek oil from enemies like Venezuela and Iran because of their war on domestic oil and gas production from day one. Also, they must continue to tap our strategic oil reserves (the lowest in nearly 40 years) to keep gas prices down as voters start going to the polls.

In an Oct. 7, 2022, WSJ article titled “This administration wants more oil anywhere except in America,” the paper points out how President Biden’s antioil-and-gas policies have now made us dependent on foreign oil instead of being oil independent under President

Trump. Reduction in leases, increased bureaucratic red tape and discouragement of lending to oil companies has made more drilling more difficult and risky. Why should oil companies make long-term investments in oil production when the administration wants to cut fossil fuels to zero?

In their mindless, irresponsible rush to go green, the Biden administration has put our national security at risk and made us ever-dependent on foreign oil not only for gasoline but for the other 130 oil-based products like asphalt, which is needed to build roads and infrastructure. Not producing these products in America will not only destroy a major energy industry but force average Americans to pay more for expensive imports.

Hayworth...continued from page 8 in real time: the “October Surprise.”

And, as befits its arrival on Halloween weekend, the details are as sadly shocking as they are maddeningly “evolving.”

When reports of an attack on the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi first appeared Oct. 28, there was the immediate and understandably human response of concern and compassion.

People of all political persuasions set aside argument for prayerful appeals that Paul Pelosi would recover from an apparent hammer attack by an assailant who somehow gained entrance to the Pelosi family home in San Francisco.

And then, it started.

Rahm Emmanuel’s Rule — “You never let a serious crisis go to waste” — was followed at a frantic pace. Joe Biden used the “bully pulpit” of the presidency to place the blame directly on the GOP. Press accounts claimed that the alleged attacker, David DePape, operated “far-right websites,” though that would seem difficult for a man described as a homeless drug addict who occasionally sought refuge in a broken-down bus parked outside the home of his ex-wife in Berkeley.

Moreover, a neighbor regarded De-

Pape and his former spouse as “very left … all about the Black Lives Matter movement … gay pride … detached from reality.”

The reality is that this attack — despite its tragic nature — has served to distract and detract from the issues heretofore front and center in the campaign.

The timing? Sadly coincidental.

J.D. Hayworth worked as a sportscaster at Channel 10, Phoenix, from 1987 until 1994 and represented Arizona in Congress from 19952007.

Camelback noise, pollution and safety

Editor: I live on Camelback Road. Our city council annexed part of Camelback with the intention of stopping the heavy trucks from traveling on the road that borders Litchfield Park. There have been numerous letters written in the West Valley View newspaper about this subject. I know that if any of you had to listen to the noise and breath the pollution, you would not have delayed the May 1 enforcement of the ban.

We have trucks six out of seven days a week from early hours (3 a.m.) traveling back and forth to late in the afternoon. The other day, trucks stopped outside my wall and continued to create noise and pollution parked as shown in

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 9, 2022

the picture.

Years ago, a truck went and crashed into my wall. Northern Parkway was built for this exact reason: to stop the flow of trucks, yet the city of Litchfield isn’t going to do anything until May. I think that a lawsuit should be filed to stop the noise, pollution and increased risk of deadly accidents to pedestrians. The wall behind Litchfield Greens needs an additional wall that will be 10 feet in height, to decrease the pollution and somewhat reduced the noise. Three miles north is the solution (Northern Parkway), but the city of Litchfield continues to turn a blind eye. You were elected to ensure the safety and well-being of your constituents. Please do so sooner than later.

Any help would be great. Thank you.

May you have a ‘winning’ week

won the lottery — in my dreams. I see it all now, flashing before me. I turn on the television and watch excitedly when they call out the winning numbers. Nervously, I look down at my Powerball ticket and then in complete disbelief, I realize I have won $1 billion!

Suddenly my world has changed forever. From this moment forward my life will be grouped into two distinct chapters — before winning the Powerball and afterward. This is usually when I wake up.

Hey, we Americans know how to have fun. With the stock market tanking, why not plop down 10 or 20 bucks for the chance of becoming a billionaire? We get nothing from interest in our savings accounts, so let’s gamble like fools on a 3 million to 1 chance of winning the lottery.

One in 4 Americans play the lottery once a month or more, yet statisticians claim that we have a greater likelihood of getting wiped out by an asteroid than winning the Powerball. Or a better chance of getting hit by lightning while swimming and fighting off an alligator.

Well, all that could happen!

Some folks who have won the lottery have been pretty stupid! Do not hand a “friend” your winning ticket to go collect the money for you (lawsuit pending). Never win $15 million and spend it on booze, parties and demolition derby activities! A man in Texas won $31 million and in two years was broke.

you have an “FJB” sticker on your bumper or a “Let’s Go Brandon” flag on your porch. At the same time, I have shaken my head pretty much nonstop for the past two years of the Biden presidency.

Even so, if the alternative is Donald Trump in this “lesser of two evils” system of ours, then yes, I’m glad the 2020 election ended as it did — with a Biden victory because he won, not because he

How is your timing in life? One man won a $5 million jackpot the day after his divorce was finalized.

Seems his new ex-wife tried to reconcile. Then she tried to get alimony. When that didn’t work, she tried to sue the judge for “speeding up the divorce date and causing her to lose a large sum of money.” Sore loser?

My girlfriend, an attorney, said the winner of $1 billion would have to go into hiding, almost like into the witness protection program, just to keep the masses of scammers away. She said if I won that much money, I would have to move immediately, stop working, change all my phone numbers while figuring out a strategy. I suppose wearing a dark wig and sunglasses would not help (my original plan).

Hmmm, winning doesn’t sound like much fun after all.

A man in China accepted his $30 million lottery jackpot dressed up as a cartoon character to remain incognito (sneaky). He has hidden his winnings from his wife and daughter, claiming he doesn’t want them to become “arrogant or lazy.” OK, Mr. Big Winner, explain to us how you hide $30 million from your family? What good is money if you can’t share it with your loved ones?

Dear readers, if you don’t hear from me, it could mean that I won the Powerball. Another possibility is that I got hit by an asteroid or struck by lightning while fighting off an alligator. Good luck to all of us. May you have a “winning” week.

stole it in some far-fetched fantasy.

It has become popular in GOP circles to scream “Stop the Steal.” I agree.

Not the theft of an election, which didn’t happen.

Stop the steal of our country by two parties who put their own interest before America’s. That’s the real steal, and there seems to be no stopping it.

Paramount Global Surfaces

16535 W. Elwood Street, Goodyear Paramount Global Surfaces is opening a new distribution center in Goodyear that will add 144,000 square feet to the business and possibly bring 100 new jobs to the region.

region’s infrastructure, connectivity and ability to meet the needs of high-growth business,” said Chris Camacho, president and CEO at Greater Phoenix Economic Council.

“This move strategically positions Paramount Global Surfaces moving forward, and we’re excited to partner with them in their continued success.”

Paramount Global Surfaces is a leading importer and distributor of premium porcelain tile and luxury vinyl tile used in remodeling and replacement projects for residential and commercial.

The new warehouse plans to increase capacity to support continued growth

The Stillery

1900 N. Civic Square, Goodyear Tennessee-based restaurant and bar The Stillery has announced its plans to open a new location in Goodyear by 2023. Known for its live country music, late-night dancing, fresh American comfort-style food and signature Mason jar cocktails, the restaurant plans to open in Goodyear’s new GSQ. “There’s nothing yet like this to do in Goodyear,” said James Sampley, co-owner of The Stillery. “I’m excited to bring that to everybody, meet people on the west side of the Valley and have some fun.”

The restaurant currently has two locations in Arizona other than in Tennessee — one in Chandler and the other in Happy Valley.

The development of GSQ follows the grand opening of Goodyear Civic Square, which opened its doors on Aug. 1. Much of the development is highly anticipated, and planning to start opening doors in 2023, along with The Stillery.

“I am excited that The Stillery will bring live entertainment seven days a week to the new heart of Goodyear,” Goodyear Mayor Joe Pizzillo said. “The Stillery is leading the way as the first of many great restaurants and entertainment venues to join us at GSQ as a very fun and walkable district develops around Goodyear Civic Square.”

Vantage Data Centers advances construction on new campus

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

V

antage Data Centers, a leading global provider of hyperscale data center campuses, announced that it has begun the second phase of construction on its growing mega-scale campus in Goodyear.

The company recently held a celebratory ceremony to mark this milestone with Goodyear Mayor Joe Pizzillo speaking and various officials from the city of Goodyear attending.

“We are excited to see the continued expansion of Vantage Data Centers’ Arizona campus as one of the anchors within the Bullard Tech Corridor,” Pizzillo said. “Data centers serve as an economic driver for the city of Goodyear and bring significant investment and quality jobs to our city.

“We value the partnership we have with Vantage and appreciate their commitment to not only sustainability but also to the design of the campus that blends into the community architecturally.”

The new Vantage Data Center in Goodyear is slated to be operational by spring 2024. (Submitted)

The additional capacity is scheduled to be operational by spring 2024.

“As we continue to drive exponential growth across the globe, Vantage is proud to partner with officials in Goodyear to meet the increased demand for data centers in the region,” said Sam Huckaby, senior vice president, construction, North America for Vantage Data Centers.

“We appreciate Mayor Pizzillo, the city of Goodyear officials and Arizona Public Service Company (APS) for their ongoing collaborative partnership to help bring this campus to fruition.

We are committed to investing in the community and, at the same time, to being a responsible corporate citizen to meet the needs of our customers while preserving precious resources in Arizona.”

Vantage continues to prioritize its ongoing commitment to sustainability.

The company has designed its Goodyear campus to use virtually no wa-

ter for cooling, instead employing a closed-loop chilled water system with air-side economizers that allows for reduced energy use based on outside ambient temperature. The campus is expected to achieve Green Globe certification.

In addition, Vantage has taken several steps to reduce its carbon footprint.

Last year, Vantage pledged to achieve net zero carbon emissions globally by 2030, which it reaffirmed last month by signing The Climate Pledge. And in May 2021, the company announced that it provides access to renewable energy options at each of its North American and European campuses.

“We are proud that Vantage selected our Mission Critical team as the design-build partner on the expansion of its Goodyear campus,” said Ryan Ferguson, vice president and project executive with the Mission Critical team at McCarthy Building Companies, the general contractor for phase two of the development. “Thanks to the collaboration between Vantage, the city, APS and with all design and construction partners, we are well positioned for this fast-paced project, even with today’s challenging market conditions, to achieve the schedule and budget goals.”

Key construction trade partners on the phase two expansion include Corgan Architects, Rosendin Electric, Southland Industries and KW Mission Critical.

Josh Doan looks to shine for ASU and Coyotes

BY CALEB JONES

West Valley View Staff Writer

T

he name Doan is synonymous with hockey excellence in the Valley.

Shane Doan retired after an all-star career with the Arizona Coyotes, for whom he now works in the front office. His son, Josh, looks to continue that legacy by captaining the Sun Devils hockey team before moving on to the Yotes, who drafted him 37th overall in 2021.

Shane is Josh’s biggest inspiration.

“He’s been a huge figure for me on and off the ice,” Josh said. “Most importantly, he keeps me grounded and in the loop of what I need to do to maintain focus on the ice and off the ice.

Any time I have a question I go to him and he’s ready to answer.”

Josh and Shane dropped the ceremonial first puck during the Coyotes’ home opener at Mullett Arena on Oct. 28. With the impact of his father’s legacy felt in the Coyotes organization, Josh will look to carve his own story.

Hockey presents a unique opportunity for athletes, as it is one of the only

sports where they can be drafted and still play for a college team. For Josh, it is exciting to be affiliated with his father’s team.

“That part is really cool. There are not a lot of people who get the opportunity — especially to be drafted by the team that your dad played for,” he said.

While Josh is looking forward to playing for the Coyotes, he’s not overlooking his current experience as a Sun Devil.

“You can’t look into the future, because you’re going to miss the time you are having right now,” he said. “If I were to look past this, then I would miss all the memories of being in a Division I sport and playing at Arizona State University, which people would die to do. It’s probably the best time I’ve had so far in my life. It is something that, a couple years down the road, I’ll cherish.”

It’s a new day for Josh and the Sun Devils, as they recently moved into Mullett Arena. Ironically, the Sun Devils share the state-of-the-art 5,000-seat venue with the Coyotes, who agreed to play there until 2025, with an option to stay until 2026.

In his short time there, Josh has made history by scoring the first goal in the arena on Oct. 14 in a 2-0 win against Colgate.

“It was cool,” Josh said. “There were

a lot of guys who played in this organization for years before me who never got an opportunity to do so. So, just to be put in the position where I got the chance to do that was obviously special. It’s definitely exciting, but there are a lot of guys who came before who could have deserved that goal as well.”

The Sun Devils may be off to a slow start to the season — 4-4-0 as of Oct. 28 — but Josh said the Sun Devils can turn it around. The season runs through mid-March.

“This team is a team that’s going to mesh,” he said. “We are a younger team that has a lot of guys from all over the world coming together.”

Nevertheless, the buildup to the Coyotes has been great.

“It’s been awesome,” he says. “Making it to the NHL has been my dream.”

Mullett Arena is one of the ‘greatest event experiences’

BY CALEB JONES

West Valley View Staff Writer

A

rizona Coyotes player Christian Fischer told ESPN+ that ASU’s new Mullett Arena has as much — if not more — energy than any other NHL venue.

According to Mullett Arena general manager Joe Sheridan, that was the goal in hosting college hockey and, for at least two years, the NHL. “I think both will feel a little different,” Sheridan said.

“ASU, being a college program and being new to a big arena like this is very exciting for them, the students

and fans. For the Coyotes, this will also be new for them, and they will use their resources to make it a great experience for their fans. It will be similar, though, in the sense that the same bells and whistles will be used by both teams.”

Mullett Arena holds only 5,000 seats, as opposed to Desert Diamond Arena, formerly Gila River Arena, which seats 18,300. This makes it the smallest facility in the NHL. “We only have one seating bowl, whereas other arenas have multiple levels,” Sheridan said.

“The best part is that there is not a bad seat in the house. Everyone is close

to the action.”

The Coyotes and Sun Devils games feature a student section and all the amenities fans can expect in other venues.

“It really has all the amenities that other major arenas have, just on a smaller scale,” Sheridan said.

Concessions include Big Chicken, Venezia’s Pizza, and Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers. Club seat holders can enjoy the Coors Light Club Chill on the second level, which boasts a full-service bar and buffet station.

The arena features 20 standard size suites and two group party suites on the

third level, which houses the Dos Equis Double Deck.

“It can be used for private events and private groups with its own catering functions, and it is a standing-room-only hospitality area,” he said.

Mullett Arena is slated to host concerts and shows as well, making it a multipurpose facility, Sheridan said.

“We encourage people to come early (to games) so they can experience a band, or a DJ, food and beverage offerings, and the games,” Sheridan said.

“I think fans can expect to have one of the greatest event experiences at Mullett Arena.”

Goodyear resident shares pain of nerve disorder BYCHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor

M

arcia Garcia has endured “the worst pain known to man.”

After three years of misdiagnoses, the Goodyear resident was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia.

The rare condition affects the trigeminal facial nerve, or fifth cranial nerve, and the pain is so severe that suicide rates are high among sufferers, Garcia said.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the “classic” form of the disorder causes extreme, sporadic, sudden burning or shock-like facial pain that lasts anywhere from a few seconds to as long as two minutes per episode.

These attacks can occur in quick succession, in volleys lasting as long as two hours.

“I don’t want (Marcia Garcia/Submitted) anybody else to “I worked at a bank for 15 years and, have to go through this, especially in front of a customer, I went to scratch with it happening to more women over my hairline and it sent shocks through the age of 50.”

She found that her episodes, which start in her left eye socket, were trigged by the cold while she was living in Washington State.

“It was cold and dreary. Some days I couldn’t even get out of bed,” Garcia said. “I ended up coming back to Arizona myself. It did improve, but it didn’t go away. I would have such bad pain, I would be in bed for the whole weekend. When the pain and shocks subside, I would have to take that third day to recover from dealing with the pain the whole weekend.”

Long battle

For three years, doctors gave her several “diagnoses” — lupus, Sjogren’s, dental issues — before a pain specialist

Uncovering the emerald of truth in your field

T

he story is told of a man who lives on a beautiful farm. When he died, the property, which had been in the family for over 200 years, was sold to one of the neighbors. One day, the new owner was walking in a field when he noticed an odd-looking rock sticking out of the dirt. He took it home, washed it, and then took it to the jewelers.

The jeweler confirmed what the owner already suspected. The old stone, which had been in the field for thousands of years, was a large, uncut emerald worth several million dollars.

The gemstone had been in the field all along, waiting for someone to come along and discover it. Over the years, people had walked past the cloaked emerald thousands of times and overlooked it because it looked like nothing more than an ordinary rock. But unfortunately, we rarely see what we are not looking for.

When we discover something, we

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

find something that already exists even though we were unaware of it. You need to see “it” before you can be “it” or experience “it.” It’s not what you look at that matters; it’s what you see that matters. Returning to our emerald example, the original owners looked at the stone for many years, but the new owner saw it. The original owners cognized the rock; they knew about it. However, the new owner “re-cognized” the stone and did something about it. There’s a big difference there.

All of us live under the same sky, but not all of us see the same horizon.

Author Mike Murdock enlightens us with the Principle of Recognition.

“Whatever you don’t recognize, you don’t appreciate.

Whatever you don’t appreciate, you don’t celebrate.

Whatever you don’t celebrate may eventually exit your life.” In other words, the opportunity of a lifetime must be taken in the lifetime of the opportunity. And when opportunity wants to dance with you, you better be on the dance floor.

Do you know what the definition of P.O.O.R. is? It’s Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly.

Consider this statement. There could be something you are not recognizing today, and it could be costing you dearly. It’s right under your nose. It’s the matter that really matters in your life, but for some reason, you keep walking by the emerald in your field. Just like the new owner who recognized the emerald, identifying your emerald could take you from the outhouse to the penthouse. And when you act upon what you need to act upon, you discover the emerald in your field. Conversely, nothing happens if nothing happens.

Just ask those former owners.

As a pastor and employer since 1974, I’ve had Christian and non-Christian people call or come to me and say, “I’m overwhelmed with all my problems. I’m in a crisis.” Being one who has been in the same “over-problemed, underachieving” predicament as the people were in, I shared an emerald of truth I discovered in my difficult times.

Here’s the emerald of truth. Believe it or not, most people don’t have many problems; they have one main problem that is causing all the other problems.

It’s like a log jam. One log falls across the river, and the other logs coming down the river stack behind that one log. Not much will happen if you focus on the logs stacked behind the big log.

If you remove the big log causing the log jam, all the other logs float down the river. The same is true of problems; remove the one problem creating all the other problems, and many, if not all, of the problems float down the river. So often, recognizing the one log in our river of life is the way out to the way up. Recognition unleashes the em-

erald in our field. Aha! What big log do you need to recognize causing your river to plug up?

Maybe it is debt. You may need to sell something to pay off a debt. Say to yourself, “I don’t care what I have to drive, where I live, or what I’ve got to do to get out of this debt.” Then do it.

Some of you need to go back to school and finish your education. Start now.

You might be thinking, “But I’m in love.” I know Alan Jackson sang the song, “Livin’ on Love.” Attention: The bank doesn’t accept love notes!

How about relationship problems?

Guys, you don’t want to deal with it?

“I’m not emotional.” Yes, you are.

You keep shoving it down. Quit suppressing, repressing and expressing, and start confessing. Your marriage is separating, and in another year, the gap may be so wide that you won’t live in the same home. Stop pretending. Love is grand. Divorce is a hundred grand.

Maybe you’re in a dating relationship and saying, “He completes me.” But those who love you say, “He’s completely wrong.”

On the positive side, maybe it’s a business you need to start, a new career path, launch a new ministry, make new business contacts, form new alliances, enlarge your borders, or make things right where you can. Accept the challenge! (Thanks to Pastor Dan Steffan from Pure Heart Church for some of these “log” thoughts).

Woot, there it is. Opportunity is often missed because we broadcast when we could be tuning in.

his own life.”

told her she has trigeminal neuralgia.

Garcia had already stopped working.

“Finally, I got a diagnosis,” she said.

“Not knowing was the worst part of it.

You go to the doctor, you’re paying for MRIs with contrast, without contrast.

Meanwhile, I’m feeling this pain and these shocks. I just thought, ‘Why isn’t anybody taking me seriously?’ It was almost easier to pass me off to someone else (another specialist).”

She takes gabapentin, sumatriptan and Benadryl. Placing a heating pad over her eyes helps as well.

Just after her diagnosis, she immediately jumped on chat groups and met a man who was newly diagnosed. He was in the military and about to be deployed.

“He couldn’t deal with the pain anymore,” she recalled. “That broke me. He was protecting our rights and freedoms, and he couldn’t even get a diagnosis. He got the pain figured out and his struggling lit a fire under me.

I don’t know what happened to him. I don’t know if he was deployed or took

Letting the public in

Garcia keeps her spirits up. She brought awareness to trigeminal neuralgia through a 500-mile ATV desert race earlier this year.

“I say don’t let the pain hold you back,” Garcia said. “I’m a firm believer in that. I could have been retired with the bank by now. I just couldn’t do it — sitting in front of customers, trying to sell them on why they should come in and bank with us.”

She was introduced to racing when her husband bought ATVs for Christmas. Initially against the purchase and fearing her children would be injured, Garcia gave in and fell in love.

In her first race, she took first place out of 20 women. She knew this was her calling — a way of raising awareness of trigeminal neuralgia.

Garcia founded the not-for-profit organization TN Warrior Racing Inc., which assists women and youth starting out in ATV racing. Through the nonprofit, Garcia gives people access to the expensive sport so they can find

joy through the freedom of the trails.

“I know I can’t save the world, but I want these neurologists to talk more about it, to do more about it,” Garcia said.

“Something has to be done. Yeah, it’s rare, but these people getting this diagnosis deserve a fighting chance. I was on my last leg. I could no longer deal with the pain. It’s not OK to wake up every single day and have to deal with pain. I went to emergency rooms and there was nothing on the CT scan.

They’d say, ‘Take this 800-milligram ibuprofen,’ and send you away.

“I just want more to be known about it. The way that happens is by spreading the word — no matter where you do it. If it’s online, on my Facebook page, I want everybody to know what it is and maybe they could tell someone.

It could be saving someone’s life.”

Our high schools earn outstanding grades

BY MARK YSLAS

Agua Fria Union High School District Superintendent

A

gua Fria High School District is excited to announce the letter grades for our family of high schools. The Arizona Board of Education determines these grades by calculating academic growth from year to year, scores on the statewide assessment, high school graduation rates, and quantitative indicators showing educational acceleration.

Our entire community can be proud of the hard work of our students and educators.

Their dedication in the classroom has resulted in outstanding letter grades. As a district, we will continue prioritizing our funding and resources to deliver strong academic results. We are committed to ensuring our high school students have the opportunities, support, and a successful pathway to their dreams!

Grade A B B B B

**Millennium High School has received a letter grade of “B.” The letter grade is under review by the State Board of Education, in response to our appeal for an “A.” We anticipate a decision on the appeal in late 2022.

Having a place to do their homework that allows them to succeed, and all of the other new additions will be essential to their growth as students, thus paving the way for a brighter future for the next generation of Avondale’s children.

“There’s going to be 20 new computers that can be on the internet and do homework and just do papers and research and all sorts of things,” Katsenes said. “It just opens up a whole new world.”
